Amidst the worldwide jubilation and celebration over the advent of soft technology, perhaps only in Korea, where national pride is both fierce and fragile, does the atmosphere seem sowhat solemn and silent.
The shipbuilding and electronics industries have long been regarded by Korea as strategic core industries. To this end, the Korean governnt has spared no effort to open up green channels for their developnt through legislation and governnt bills, all to allow them to grow aggressively and occupy the global high ground.
In this way, not only can other related industries be stimulated, but national pride can also be greatly boosted.
This pursuit of national pride can be described as Korea’s long-standing guiding principle!
Of course, there are also deeper reasons behind this.
Looking back at history, everything the Three Han Nations have experienced is almost always associated with humiliation, insignificance, weakness, and subservience.
It is this painful past that drives the effort to both desperately conceal this inglorious history and simultaneously create today’s glory, establishing unprecedented national honor.
It can be said that these asures by the Korean governnt have almost taken effect, at least within the country!
The vast majority of people, after reading the revised history, naively believe that Korea was originally a shining civilization with a five-thousand-year history, second only to Egypt, and feel an indescribable pride.
And looking at contemporary achievents, they also feel very proud, as the shipbuilding and electronics industries have acted as two massive engines, propelling Korea far ahead in the tis.
Consequently, almost all citizens believe unanimously that Korea is the most powerful, wealthy, ancient, and free nation in the world!
However.
Just when everything seed to beco more real, Jade Island erged!
Firstly, the shipbuilding industry of Jade Island.
At the Leicestershire Expo in England, the performance of Jade Island’s high-speed transport ships undoubtedly destroyed the myth of the Samsung Shipyard, displayed to the world through live broadcast footage!
In this event, Jade Island’s actions were like wielding a heavy hamr that struck deeply into the hearts of the Korean people. The national pride, piled up on lies and illusions and as fragile as foam, also completely collapsed.
From that mont on, the atmosphere in Korea has not improved.
Yet, what they didn’t expect was that this would be far from over!
Another dark day arrived unannounced!
Soft technology!
Jade Island’s innovative technology once again targeted the smartphone industry!
And this happens to be the most crucial of Korea’s two main technological engines. They didn’t foresee that after Jade Island had already exploded one engine, it would now target the other!
Is this aiming to ruin themselves?
Thus, when the news broke that Jade Island was going to make a breakthrough in soft technology, the atmosphere in Korea beca as if the death knell of the nation had been struck, shrouding the country in mourning.
The once lively financial hotspots like Dongdaemun and Samsung Era Square felt like they had experienced a harsh winter, with the economy sluggish and lifeless!
...
Shou’Er.
Cheongwadae.
In an ultra-confidential eting room, a group of over a dozen national top leaders, along with the Samsung Crown Prince, Lee Jae-yong, were gathered with heavy expressions, engaging in a significant eting concerning the nation’s future.
At the head of the table, Lee Jae-yong’s complexion appeared dim and lackluster, like a blackened pot bottom, with dark, puffy eye bags suggesting he hadn’t slept well in months.
It’s no wonder, since the crushing defeat to Jade Island at the Leicestershire Expo, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.
Moreover, since then, Samsung Heavy Industries has undeniably hit rock bottom, with its once flourishing shipyards now withering away like frost-bitten flowers.
Not only have many orders vanished without a trace, but even the research and production personnel, trained over decades, have almost entirely disappeared, leaving only a large amount of heavy chanical equipnt and shipbuilding devices lying idle in the shipyards!
Samsung had never been this humiliated since its inception!
This is Samsung’s disgrace, as well as Lee Jae-yong’s personal disgrace!
As the third-generation successor, Lee Jae-yong simply cannot accept this nightmarish outco.
Being pinned on the pillar of historical sha by his family, by the people, or even by the nation is sothing he cannot accept under any circumstances!
He also absolutely won’t allow such a thing to happen!
It was against this backdrop that he took a risk, buying off Filipino drug dealers multiple tis to tarnish Jade Island’s reputation, but the results were less than ideal.
And just recently, when Jade Island once again made a move to revolutionize the smartphone industry, Lee Jae-yong could no longer sit still!
Samsung’s two major engines, or even Korea’s two major economic and technological engines, if continuously destroyed by Jade Island, would indeed threaten Korea and Samsung with complete annihilation!
Faced with such a great challenge, Lee Jae-yong decided to convene this secret eting!
The attendees were all the highest-ranking "leaders" of the nation!
The decisions made at this eting will determine how Korea faces the challenges from Jade Island!
No!
It should be called provocation!
Because all the actions of the other party are aid at destroying Samsung!
...
In the eting room, Lee Jae-yong’s face was ashen, saying nothing, while the other attending national leaders also remained silent, their expressions equally grim!
Thus, even though the eting had been underway for five minutes, it was still in dead silence, the atmosphere eerie and oppressive, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
"I suppose you have all seen that Jade Island’s actions this ti are directed at us. Now, we are at a mont of life and death, so everyone speak up, what should we do!"
After a long mont of silence, Lee Jae-yong finally spoke.
"Korea’s future ultimately depends on Samsung, on Chairman Li, on how to respond to Jade Island’s challenge. We all listen to Chairman Li."
President Park Mu-jin, sitting on Lee Jae-yong’s left, looked troubled upon hearing his words. After thinking it over, he could only say this.
"Useless!"
Seeing the lack of confidence on the faces of Park Mu-jin and the other national leaders, Lee Jae-yong’s expression grew uglier.
This group, besides listening to him usually, was indeed of no use at all.
Especially at such a critical mont, they couldn’t co up with half an opinion; it was still up to him!
